Albinism in humans is caused by homozygosity for mutant recessive alleles of the tyr gene, which is located on chromosome 11. al

kaptonuria in humans is caused by homozygosity for mutant recessive alleles of the hgd gene, which is located on chromosome 3. suppose that a man and a woman who are each heterozygous carriers of mutant recessive alleles of both the tyr and hgd genes have five children. what is the probability that at least one of their children will have albinsim and/or alkaptonuria?

Exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%  
Since each trait is carried on a different chromosome, the two traits are independent of each other. Since both parents are heterozygous for the trait, each parent can contribute 1 of a possible 4 combinations of the alleles. So there are 16 possible offspring. I'll use "a", "A", "b", "B" to represent each allele and the possible children are aabb, aabB, aaBb, aaBB, aAbb, aAbB, aABb, aABB, Aabb, AabB, AaBb, AaBB, AAbb, AAbB, AABb, and AABB 
Of the above 16 possibilities, there are 7 that are homozygous in an undesired traint and 9 that don't exhibit the undesired trait. So let's first calculate the probability of "what are the chances that all 5 children not exhibiting an undesired trait?" and then subtract that result from 1. So 
1-(9/16)^5 = 1 - 59049/1048576 = 989527/1048576 which is approximately 0.943686485 = 94.3686485%  
So the answer is exactly 989527/1048576, or approximately 94.37%

Fechner stated the existence of a functional relationship between body and mind is, in general, not _____
BARSIC [14]

Solution:

Dualists view the mind and the body as two fundamental different “things”, equally real and independent of each other. Cartesian thought, or substance dualism, maintains that the mind and body are two different substances, the non-physical and the physical, and a causal relationship is assumed to exist between them. Physicalism, on the other hand, is the idea that everything that exists is either physical or totally dependent of and determined by physical items. Hence, all mental states are fundamentally physical states. In the current study we investigated to what degree Swedish university students’ beliefs in mind-body dualism is explained by the importance they attach to personal values. A self-report inventory was used to measure their beliefs and values. Students who held stronger dualistic beliefs attach less importance to the power value (i.e., the effort to achieve social status, prestige, and control or dominance over people and resources). This finding shows that the strength in laypeople’s beliefs in dualism is partially explained by the importance they attach to personal values

The difference between science and pseudoscience is that science has actual research and evidence to back up the claim where pseudo science has no evidence. a similarity is that they both answer a question.
